the shoemakers

I bought a new book last week 'Green Crafts for Children' by Emma Hardy. The projects are not only appealing to children, but are irresistible to the creatively inclined adult. The book is filled with things like the shoes above, walnut babies, salt dough tea sets and felt sushi roll necklaces.

Now, did I take this particular craft session with Hugo a little too seriously? Maybe. Hugo and I were surfing a wave of creativity and we followed it to the end (which incidentally, was a nap). Feeling pretty fancy we now get to walk around the house just looking at our feet.

About Me

I am an Australian living in New Zealand with my husband Jonno and children Archie and Hugo on a harbourside dairy farm. My great aunt and uncle taught me to embroider when I was eight and I have been obsessed with fabric and thread ever since. I now crochet, knit, paint, sew, print fabric, embroider, write and all sorts of other things that raises seratonin. I am also lucky enough to design projects for Simply Crochet UK . Thanks for stopping by!
